A POLITICAL STRAW.

The GLOBE stated, on what was be-
lieved to be good authority, that Eli
Warner would come out and put his
shoulder below the Merriam guberna-
toriaI boom. This is important, if
true" 1t matters little, ofitself, under
whose boom Eli Warner plays the part
of a caryatid, but the significance is
found entirely in the fact that Eli is a
pleasing straw which shows which way
a certain political wind blows.
Eli was for McGill, last year, but he
was not, of original intention. 1t is said
by those who are in position to know,
that Eli is the well balanced weather.
cock perched above the Pillsbury barn,
and he shows, with infalIible accuracy,
the state of affairs beneath.
If Eli is for Merriam, it is considered
safe to say c. A. Pillsbury is for Mer-
RAM, and therein lies the interest at
taching to Eli Warmers position. 1t was
quite generally conceded, some time
since, that the Ratchet had been buried.
with appropriate ceremonies, between
Charley Pillsbury and Charley Gilman,
which was considered to fOreShadOw an
alliance in which neither of the Char
leys was to get left. But this Warner
story is different. O
There must be a new combination
afoot. That Loren Fletcher was for
Merriam was readily believed, and the
two chieftains were to swap influences.
Merriam throwing ST. Paul to Fletcher
and Fletcher throwing Minneapolis to

evening to throng of listeners, II re-
gard Tom Moore's as the most remarka-
bic that ever came under my Observa-
ton in twenty-five years experience as
a surgeon, but there was one other that
l would like to put on record. A young
Irish boy a while ago was run over by
the cars on the Manitoba road.
His right leg was badly crushed and
l was obliged to perform an amputation
just below the knee. He stood the OPP
Grafton manfully, and looked as though
he would pull through when called to
see him the next day. His mother said
he's gone to picnic at White Bear
lake. To picnic? yelled. Yes, he
got pair of crutches and hobbled off,
Well, thought l would wait to see
whether he was alive or dead. Not be-
ing summoned to go to the lake to take

THE FLOOR ON CHANGE.

The chamber of commerce at the
mornings session yesterday had con-
gresham for a visitor in the shape of
Hon. r. w. Durham, who represents
the First district, Illinois, at Washing
ton, ID. Z. In appearance MIR. Durham
is a,thick Setman of medium stature and
having very pleasant address. His
visit is solely one of business and is the
first one he has paid to the Twin cities.
In politics he is Ion the wrong side,"
and speaking of the election in Chicago
confident of Republican victory: there
was no doubt of it. Ever since the new
electoral laws, in his opinion, Chicago
had been growing strong Republican
sentiment. Speaking of old times and
politics Mr.. Durham said he was pres
ent at the convention that nominated
Lincoln in 1860, and has never seen
since a more enthusiastic multitude
than was present on that historical Oc-
casiOn. AprOpoS of Lincoln, Mr.. Dun
ham pointed out a ludicrOus blunder in
the biography of the great patriot presi-
dent. 1t includes picture of
Elihu B. WaShburne, but his brother,
Israel WaShburne is substituted instead.
Mr.. Durham is decided bull on wheat
and feels confident that when the pres
tHJ ldIS6 ItctlplS let up a llllle, ULtIe
will be good substantial advance in
prices. He received during the morning
a telegram i'll regard to the anarchists
to the effect that the sentimentaliSm
over these men is dying out owing to
the latest developments. He was at one
time president of the Chicago board of
trade and for many years was connected
with the old established house of Will
lam Young d Company. The French
party, consisting of Messrs. Abel Rey
ChauvOt partner in the Bordeaux wine
house,. of Calve Frere's & Maurel-made
a flying visit to Duluth Saturday night
returning yesterday morning. They eX-
pect to start for the East to-day and all
of them reiterate their great pleasure at
their visits both here and in Duluth.
jim Cargill is slightly indispOsed
and therefore was absent from the floor
yesterday.
C. NJ. Loring was in Chicago a short
while ago and the last few days has
been complaining of not feeling well,
but he was on Change yesterday and
looked as if enjoying the best of health.
The floor had busy crowded appear
ance and traders reported good business
although it was MOnday-an invariably
quiet day.

A Big Blaze at Boston.

BOSTON. Nov. Sat 8 o'clock this
afternoon flames suddenly burst out in
the midst of the large oil works of
Pierce q Canterbury, in East Boston.
The fire spread to all parts of the large
refinery, and was the work of a few
moments only. A tremendous blaze
was soon in progress, sending an inn
menSe column of dense smoke, which
attracted large crowds to the spot.
Three alarms were sent out, and the
efforts of the firemen were directed en-
tirely to the protection of surrounding
property. The frequent explosions of
oil tanks sent showers of burning oil in
all directions, making the firemen's
work exceedingly dangerous. FOrtu-
nately the flames were confined to the
establishment of Pierce Il Canterbury,
which was entirely destroyed. The
works were valued at 100000, while a
large stock of oil in all grades was de-
strOyed. The value of this cannot yet
be estimated, but it is very heavy. The
property was well insured.

SCRAPS OF STORIES.
A Political Vane Over the Pillsbury
Headquarters.
HE CARED FOR HIS FATHER
A Group of Minneapolis Stories Run
ming the Gauntlet Of the Cos
sips.

The inner history of the greatly dis
cussed question as to whether the
Equitable Life Insurance, one of the
most powerful and desirable companies
in the world, was going to permanently
locate here furnishes another example
of the interest and energy which some
prominent Minneapolitans take in
everything to forward the welfare OF
this city-their home. 1t now trans
pres land with its usual foresight the
GLOBE is the first paper to convey this
fact to the public that an agent was
sent here from the East with view of
getting life policies on some of the well
known men of this city. They seemed
to grasp the situation at glance
whereby they could use this move of
the insurance company so it would re-
dOund to the benefit of themselves, and
at the same time materially benefit
the town. The agent arrived along
in October and quietly went to
approached the PillSburys, MOrriSOnS,
Washburns and others of the solid men
of the city with view to business.
1t is not known exactly who originated
the idea, but it was brought up at an in
formal meeting held to discuss the mat
ter, for few of those present at the
meeting, had held prior to it, strong
views on the subject.
At that meeting there were present
Charles A. PillSbury, George A. Pills
bury, F. c. Pillsbury, n. f. GriSwOld,
r. B. LangdOn, Harvey Brown and L.
B. Walker and these seven prominent
citizens, with their accustomed enter
prise, engaged to take policies of $780,
600 piece on condition that the
Equitable Life insurance erect build
ing and as soon as possible establish
suitable branch of its enormous bust
ness in the city of Minneapolis. That
is the key to the negotiations that have
been so prominent lately in the papers
in reference to the Skiles property and
an insurance company, and there is lit
tie doubt but that in a short time
the Equitable Life Insurance conf
pany will erect a building here,
the last site spoken of being the Pail
SADIE hotel, about a block above the new
Hennepin Avenue theater. The Skies
property was not purchased becaue the
price asked was considered prepOster
OuSly dear. Real estate in st. Paul
fetching only at the highest figure
81, 300 per front foot, and this was at the
rate of $1,000 foot. The agent of the
company is looking out all the time for
a suitable situation at reasonable
price, and will positively purchase at
the first favorable opportunity and
under the conditions described in this
article.
